NORMAL  COLLEGE  OF  NEW  YORK  CITY 


AIM  AND  ORGANIZATION 

The  Normal  College  is  intended  for  the  higher  education  of  young 
women  residing  in  any  borough  of  New  York  City,  who  are  prepared 
to  profit  by  its  opportunities.  It  aims  especially  to  educate  those  who 
desire  to  enter  the  service  of  the  city  as  teachers  in  the  public  schools. 
It  also  includes  students  who  are  seeking  an  education  for  its  culture- 
value,  -without  the  expectation  of  teaching;  in  many  cases  these  also 
eventually  become  teachers.  Tuition,  use  of  text-books,  laboratory  sup- 
plies, etc.,  are  free  to  all  students. 

The  Normal  College  organization  includes 

1.  The  College  proper,  or  Department  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  with 
a course  which  may  be  completed  in  three,  or,  if  preferred,  in  four  years. 

2.  Kindergarten  Training  Course;  two  years  for  high  school  grad- 
uates, one  year  for  college  graduates. 

3.  High  School  Department;  four  years;  its  succession  of  subjects 
the  same  as  in  the  City  High  Schools. 

4.  Training  Department;  including  a Kindergarten,  a primary  and 
a grammar  school;  its  course  being  the  full  eight  years  elementary  course 
of  the  public  schools  of  New  York  City.  It  is  used  also  as  a model  and 
practice  school  for  the  training  of  teachers. 

DEVELOPMENT 

The  Normal  College  of  New  York  City  was  established  in  1870,  and 
was  given  in  1888  the  right  to  grant  degrees,  by  charter  from  the  State 
of  New  York. 

Admission  was  by  annual  examination  in  June,  until  February,  1904. 
After  the  adoption  of  the  half-year,  instead  of  the  year,  as  the  unit  of 
promotion,  the  first  entrances  under  the  present  system  were  admitted  as 
follows : into  the  first  college  year,  from  our  own  high  school  in  February, 
1907;  from  other  high  schools  in  February,  1906;  and  the  first  February 
admissions  into  the  first  term  of  our  own  high  schools  in  February,  1904. 

Successive  changes  and  extensions  in  the  course  of  study  have  resulted 
in  graduations  as  follows : 

1888-1901  inclusive,  graduation  with  the  degree  of  A.B.,  upon  com- 
pleting a voluntary  “Academic  Course”  of  five  years;  or  graduation  with 
diploma  upon  completing  a “Normal  Course”  of  four  years. 

Graduation  upon  a compulsory  five-years’  course  began  June,  1902; 
the  last  class  so  graduating  being  that  of  June,  1905. 


5 


Graduation  upon  a six -years’  course;  the  first  voluntary  graduates 
of  the  six-years’  course  were  of  June,  1903;  the  first  compulsory,  of 
June,  1905;  and  the  last  compulsory,  of  June,  1907;  a small  number,  a 
“Special  Graduating  Class,”  still  remaining  to  graduate  in  accordance 
with  the  provisions  of  the  six-years’  course,  in  June,  1908. 

With  the  extension  of  the  course  to  seven  years,  a division  was  made 
into  a collegiate  course  of  three  years,  preceded  by  a high-school  course 
of  four  years.  For  the  latter,  the  City  High  School  Course  of  Study, 
with  certain  modifications  regarding  electives,  was  adopted  in  1903. 

Voluntary  seventh-year  graduations  began  in  June  of  1905 ; the  first 
compulsory  seventh-year  class  being  that  of  June,  1908. 

Beginning  Januarj^,  1902,  all  students  entering  college  have  been 
required  to  complete  this  seven-years’  course;  i.e.,  three  years  of  college 
following  upon  four  years  of  the  high  school. 


THE  COLLEGE  COURSE 

1.  For  graduation  with  the  degree  of  A.B.,  the  Normal  College 
requires  the  satisfactory  completion  of  work  amounting  to  60  points 
(reckoned  by  the  year;  or  120  points  if  reckoned  by  the  half  year,  or 
20  weeks)  ; that  is,  an  average  of  20  hours  (recitation  or  equivalent)  per 
week  for  3 years,  or  of  15  hours  per  week  for  4 years.  A “point”  or 
“credit”  is  the  equivalent  of  recitation  work  of  one  hour  (or  period  of 
not  less  than  45  minutes)  a week  for  a year;  the  recitation  period  being 
understood  to  imply  at  least  an  equal  period  used  in  preparation. 

2.  Prescribed  work  is  expected  to  occupy  the  first  college  year  chiefly 
or  entirely,  with  an  increase  of  optional  subjects  afterward. 

3.  Threefold  composition  of  the  course.  The  60  “points”  required 
consist  of  three  fundamental  elements  in  nearly  equal  proportions,  as 
follows : 

(a)  Prescribed  work  (required  of  all  students),  about  20  points. 

(b)  Elective  group  of  related  subjects,  to  be  continued  for  three 

years,  about  19  to  23  points. 

(c)  Optional  and  technical  work,  not  necessarily  connected  with 

the  preceding,  about  17  to  21  points;  13  points  of  this 
may  be  taken  from  the  technical  subject  of  pedagogics, 
which  is  itself  an  optional  subject,  not  required  of  those 
not  intending  to  teach. 


6 


4.  Required  work.  For  purposes  of  general  culture,  the  course  pre- 
scribes to  all  students  the  following  requirements : 

(a)  English  (language,  literature  and  composition),  3 hours  for 

2 years,  following  upon  four  years’  work  in  the  High 
School. 

(b)  Latin,  3 hrs.,  1 yr.  (except  to  students  electing  the  Mathe- 

matics or  Science  courses),  following  also  upon  four 
years’  work  in  the  High  School. 

(c)  Science,  3 hrs.,  1 yr.  Geology  is  chosen  because  furnishing 

a proper  basis  for  the  comprehension  of  those  evolu- 
tionary processes  which  lie  at  the  basis  of  modern  thought. 

(d)  History  (Modern  and  Medieval  History  of  Europe),  3 hrs., 

1 yr.,  following  upon  3 years’  work  in  the  High  School. 

(e)  Acquaintance  with  both  French  and  German;  three  years’ 

work  in  one  of  these  languages  being  required  for  en- 
trance; at  least  one  year’s  work  in  the  other  language  is 
required  after  entering. 

(f)  Practically  all  students  also  take  courses  of  one-half  year 

each  in  Logic  and  Psychology;  also  in  History  of  Edu- 
cation and  in  the  more  technical  subjects  listed  under 
Pedagogics. 

5.  Elective  Group  to  be  chosen,  in  addition  to  the  preceding  required 
subjects,  to  secure  particular  training  in  some  one  group  of  related  sub- 
jects and  to  permit  the  opportunity  for  guided  specialization  along  the 
line  of  the  student’s  aptitude  and  choice.  It  is  believed  that  the  range  of 
choice  should  not  be  unlimited,  nor  permit  the  dissipation  of  the  student’s 
energies  over  a series  of  totally  unrelated  subjects.  Instead,  a coherent 
group  of  subjects  is  provided,  either  in  classics,  modern  languages,  natu- 
ral science,  or  mathematics,  and  one  of  these  groups  must  be  chosen  by 
each  student,  to  be  pursued  for  the  three  years  of  the  course,  and  consti- 
tuting about  one-third  of  her  college  work.  The  elective  groups  are  in 
outline,  as  follows : 

(a)  Mathematics ; Solid  and  Spherical  Geometry,  Plane  and 

Spherical  Trigonometry,  Advanced  Algebra,  Analytics, 
Calculus,  Advanced  Physics ; with  equivalents  in  Ad- 
vanced Chemistry  and  other  optionals  accepted. 

(b)  Modern  Languages;  Advanced  French,  with  subordinate 

work  in  German ; or  Advanced  German,  with  subordinate 
work  in  French. 


/ 


(e)  Classics;  Latin  and  Greek;  Roman  and  Greek  Life,  and 
Comparative  Philology,  or  equivalents. 

(d)  Science;  Physiology,  Chemistry,  Botany  and  Zoology, 
Anthropology,  History  of  Science. 

6.  Pedagogics.  Training  for  the  teacher’s  profession  is  furnished 
as  an  optional,  open  to  all  students,  but  not  compulsory  upon  those  who 
do  not  intend  to  teach : 

X 1st  year.  Logic  and  History  of  Education,  each  3 hours  for 
one  half  year. 

Y 2d  year.  Psychology,  2 hours ; Educational  Classics,  1 ; with 
1 hour  Practice  in  2d  half  year. 

Z 3d  year.  Principles  of  Education,  Class  Management  and 
General  Methods  (4  credits)  ; Model  Lessons  and  Prac- 
tice (1  credit)  ; besides  Special  Methods  in  Drawing, 
Music,  Sewing  and  Physical  Training  (2  credits). 

7.  Optionals.  A series  of  optional  subjects  (see  Tabular  Views)  are 
provided,  from  which  the  student  may  make  selection  in  addition  to  her 
choice  of  elective  group.  Modifications  or  additions,  among  optionals  and 
electives,  may  be  made  by  the  Faculty  in  response  to  sufficient  need : and 
the  student  enters  upon  her  course  with  that  understanding.  Every  stu- 
dent who  would  graduate  in  three  years  must  take  sufficient  optional 
work  to  make  her  program  average  at  least  20  points  or  credits  each 
year.

TABULAR  VIEW  OF  FOUR  YEARS 

Showing  a Succession  of  Subjects  for  the  student  who  chooses  to  take  her  College 
Course  in  four  years  rather  than  three,  thus  giving  better  opportunity  for  thor- 
oughness and  for  work  in  collateral  reading  and  laboratory.* 

Note. — This  does  not  preclude  such  further  transpositions  or  modifications  of  arrangement  as  will 
secure  a similar  result.

SYNOPSIS  OF  COLLEGE  COURSES 


College  courses  printed  in  this  Bulletin  have  been  already  in  operation 
in  1907  or  earlier,  with  exception  of  the  few  marked  §. 

Half-year  courses,  as  a rule,  are  arranged  in  consecutive  pairs,  each 
pair  constituting  a year’s  work;  in  which  the  work  must  be  continued 
throughout  the  year  in  order  to  count  toward  graduation.  In  Latin,  Greek, 
Mathematics  and  Natural  Science,  however,  a part  or  all  of  the  half-year 
courses  count  separately;  such  courses  are  marked  by  the  dagger  (f). 

Note  that  certain  courses  here  printed  as  extending  through  the  year 
may  occasionally  be  given  in  half  a year  only,  with  doubled  periods. 

Modifications  and  additions,  among  optionals  and  electives,  may  be 
occasionally  made  upon  vote  of  the  Faculty. 

Note  that  where  the  word  “hours”  is  used,  it  refers  to  number  of 
periods  per  week.  The  numbers  given  (in  Tabular  Views,  etc.)  are  the 
number  of  credits  or  points  assigned  to  the  subject  and  usually  are  the 
same  with  the  number  of  its  recitation  periods  per  week.  Numbers  with 
an  asterisk  prefixed  call  for  one  additional  period  o-f  unprepared  work; 

those  with  the  double-dagger  ($)  require  two  additional  periods. 

Courses  are  numbered  in  semi-annual  succession  or  by  the  half-year. 

Numbers  1-10  are  reserved  for  use  in  the  High  School  Department. 

Numbers  11+  are  reserved  for  successive  college  courses  ; the  numbers 
11-12  locate  a subject  in  the  1st  or  2d  term  of  the  1st  year;  13-14  in  the 
2d  year;  i.e.,  3d  and  4th  terms;  15-16  in  the  3d  year;  i.e.,  5th  and  6th 
terms. 

Numbers  21+  are  reserved  for  parallel  or  additional  courses,  21-22  in 
the  1st  year,  23-24  in  the  2d,  25-26  in  the  3d,  etc. 

Numbers  31+  are  occasionally  used  for  other  supplementary  courses 
in  a similar  manner. 

Numbers  1+  are  used  of  certain  college  courses  which  are  not  liable 
to  confusion  with  subjects  in  the  High  School,  as  Psychology  1-2. 

Courses  marked  R.-S.,  etc.,  are  courses  which  are  not  in  continuous 
series  with  certain  similar  courses  in  the  High  School ; as  German  when 
begun  in  the  1st  term  of  1st  college  year,  which  is  known  as  German  R. 

Early  letters  of  the  alphabet,  as  A,  B,  etc.,  are  used  chiefly  to  desig- 
nate subdivisions  for  recitation  purposes;  as  the  recitation  groups  English 
11+  11»,  etc.
